Anyone following this? Apparently a significant portion of the food distribution/grocery chains follow their recommendations and that getting the "Good Alternative" is a tag that then enables the widespread sale of this to restaurants, whole foods etc.

Yep, what a bunch of horseshit.

Some dude replied to my emails Wednesday. It was kind of lame, but they responded.

Yeah they replied to me on facebook as well. Sent me a link to their data on Steelhead. Total garbage, old and had no differentiation between hatchery and wild returns. All of those OP rivers are under the same tribe gillnetting commercial harvest too. Have a hard time that they aren't trying to grease the skids with Seafood Watch and keep their "product" on the market.

They have bought in to the commercial fish buyers and tribal fisheries managers line of bullshit.
